Summer Into Fall

Double Etheree

Summer Turns To Fall

The hoar's frost sits heavy upon the grass
Icy fingers slipped into pockets
Damp wet days penetrates old bones
Shivering golden pears fall
Abundant harvest ends
Those shortening days bring 
Family by
The warm hearth
Light snow
Falls
So 
Summer
Has gone now
Summer's signal
To leave, wet days, cool
Nights, crackling sound of grass
Shivering in the morning
Icy fingers warmed by the fire
When an abundant harvest's through.
Tonight listen to the first light snow fall

Such a beautiful form and flow... and how enchanted are these seasons of the world, flowing around us like waves of magic, warmth of days melting into the chilled nights. These words moved me so much and transported me into the sky.

Your review was uplifting..Thank you for stopping by..I appreciate the time spent here..Writing for a contest when one is given words or phrases to use is not so easy as in this contest..Sara

MO,

Thanks for the visit to my page..I appreciate you reading and taking time to write a review..I wrote this one for a contest..There were certain words and phrases that I had to use..I can't remember what the form was that I used but it is double whatever it was so therefore it formed the hourglass shape..
